Keepsake Azalea?

Question

I have an indoor azalea. It just started to flower, but then the petals and leaves have wilted and are falling off. I don't think it is going to bloom now. What can I do with it? I live in the northeast, where it is to cold to plant it outside. Any thoughts?

Answer 1

i have worked in the horticulture feild for a long time most azelas come from the wild orange flameand are hybrids almost all azelas can tolerate cold, even the cheap ones you get at walmart or lowes you should try repotting it making sure the roots are'nt bound together and if its too hot in your place you may trying to find a cooler spot but you could try to plant it outside if you give up on the indoor thing you just might be surpised if you plant it outside.you can also trim it up a little and remove any dead foliage,not too far but just tip it some.
